Nicolas Glumineau spends his time making outstanding Bordeaux wines or vexing about when The Cure will release their eternally delayed new album. Frankly, a reclassification of 1855 is more likely than a new Robert Smith tune. “It is confusing in terms of the drastic conditions,” Glumineau tells me, talking about the 2023 growing season, not prospects of a new Cure album. “There was a lot of rain and mildew pressure. We’ve been organic since 2021, so spraying copper for three to four months was a lot of work. On top of this, in 2023, we had more than 1,200mm of rain, the highest in Bordeaux, but from mid-July to mid-September, it was dry, and the vines faced drought conditions. So, we have to train the vines via pruning, planting density and biodynamics to keep the water so that the root system does not struggle. We have 13.01% alcohol for the Grand Vin. It reminds me of wines produced in the 2000s. To me, it is more than an average vintage. It's the kind of wine I want to drink.”
